Re: Yahoo Fantasy BBall 06 is up and running

I don't know how the live draft works, but I heard it takes real long.

So count me out.

Thanks anyway!

If we stick with the standard # of roster ( 13 players ) with 12 GMs....it should take between 60 to 90 minutes to start and complete. I prefer Live Draft over AutoPick Draft since its harder to guage and rank players since you dont know who drafts who ahead of you. IMHO...if you have the time...its more fun since its pretty much like the real thing.

But that's fine....if Lord Helmet would prefer a different method of drafting....I guess I have 2 open spots for a Live Draft for Standard H2H.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy BBall 06 is up and running

We will need a 3rd commisioner to run the 3rd league as btown's schedule is rather busy. Anyone up for it?

I'm guessing that the main part is to simply set it up and just manage the draft

I will do it, but if I commish (i have commished a ton, so I know the ropes), the league will be H2H, autopick draft, league approved trades. Would like to have all the leagues have the same scoring stats, that way we can compare the 3 leagues at the end.

You rank your own players prior to draft. You get what you get and if you dont like it, make your team better through free agency and trades (thats half the fun). I dont have time for a live draft and i think even though a thread draft sounds fun, it would take forever.

Travmil and Cable KC, if your down with this, and I get enough replies to this setup, I will do it, otherwise, I will just join one of the other leagues.

Thoughts!

I'm fine with running it with the standard scoring for Yahoo H2H.

FG% / FT% / 3ptM / Pts / Ast / Reb / Stl / BLK / TO

with the standard 13 player roster ( with 2 Centers and 3 Bench players )

Re: Yahoo Fantasy BBall 06 is up and running

OK I'll set up a mew league with the exact same settings but with the offline draft later tonight. It will be ready by morning. So far me and Robertmto and myself are all I've heard interest from. That leaves at least 10 spots in our league. I'll let everyone know when it's set up and you can PM me with your e-mails to join. As I said it will be ready by the morning.

All that is completely fine with me. I think this will work well. We'll have three leaggues with identical settings, and three different draft types.

These are the same stats our league had last year it was a ton of fun.

We'll be starting an offline draft farily soon after everyone has signed up. After the draft thread is done, I'll enter everyone's picks manually and we'll be good to go.

PM me for the league information ONLY if you're one of the ones to have expressed interest previously in this thread.

When you PM me, make sure to include your e-mail address. I'll send the league infor back to you via PM and also to your e-mail address.

Lord Helmet, I saw where you didn't want to participate in the live draft. You're more than welcome to take one of the spots in my thread draft league if you're interested.

OK, the autopick league is set up, and statistical categories are set up identical to the CableKC and travmil leagues. Maybe at the end of the "fantasy" season, the top four in each can do a separate playoff league or something like that.

Again, these are the same categories as the other 2 leagues have, except that this is the autopick league, so once we have 12 signed up and everyone has their draft status set to ready (after pre-ranking your players if you want different rankings than yahoo pre-sets), then yahoo will autopick the teams for us within 48 hours.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy BBall 06 is up and running

Is it possible to set a max moves option just for the playoffs? It just seems abit silly to me that the notion of developing a team goes out the window during the finals and you have to try and get as many players contributing as possible in order to win. Maybe the TO cat will help there i dunnos.
